You might think so , but I am not a Dude !  

Records are temporary, but the class is permanent Dudes.

Ponting aint beter at the moment!!! Ponting is a fine fine quaity player...but sachin is a different class.only lara in the modern era of players touches him

 You have a fixation about truth and falsehood , don't you lad.

I meant Viv.

Originally posted by canadiancricket you are too biased towards your own nation garrywarne. ODI's are definitely not a game of fun. They may not be considered in the same class of tests but still quite respectable. You should respect the man for his achievement.

Yes that's true but come on would you rather be Bradman or Richards it's no brainer for me.

8000? Not many, Zuhair.
10000 and we are talking.

  Quite right , all of those 15,000 runs were off the edge.

Originally posted by sporty Congrats to Sachin on becoming the 1st player to cross the 15,000 run mark. 15,000! thats quite a few runs. Don't know how any batsman is ever going to break that record.

Trust me matey, he will not retire soon.

Very done Sachin. A true milestone. And congratulations to Ganguly for crossing 10,000 runs.

I belive Michael Clarke has the ability and time to go pass Sachin in both forms of the game!!

And I can't believe you got addicted to it more than Cricket!  Anyways, Sachin is playing cricket for 17 years. Hardly much modern player who has done that and still has about 3 years left in them. With the amount of games playing though, someone might get there but he has to be as special as the little master to do it! It will be a real hard task for someone to break that.
